I have managed to develop a form which allows me to add a record to an access database using Adonet. The last few fields added are populated when i place the mouse over a floor plan image on the form (provide geographical location) and capture the x y coordinate. Prob im having is how on another form i get the points to automatically re-draw on a form with the same content (floor plan on it. I can obviously retrieve the data set using a data adapter/data table just cant make it draw on top of the graphic automatically.

just wondering if it is possible to have a form and then load up a control on that form but so it runs in a different thread to its parent... i tried:
[Code]...
But it still seemed to be running on the form's thread And just so you know ctlMTTest is just a control that has a button on it, that, when you click the button, a loop runs.

On Form1 we have: TextBox1 TreeView1 - holds list of customers, is located near the bottom of the form, not visible from the start. Now, when I start typing text in TextBox1 (i need to filter customers), TreeView1 appears and suggest for example 30 customers matching the searched text. I want the program to show the treeview and draw it also outside of the Form1 boundaries.

I've got a usercontrol that's a simple rectangle with three labels on it. It's essentially triggered to give a caption to an image when the mouse is moved over it. As I feared, adding the control to the form (or any container on the form) restricts drawing the control to the region defined by the container. I tried increasing the region of the form and the container, but it still didn't draw outside the container.
So my question is: Is there a way to make the control display partially inside the container/form and partially outside it, or is there a better object type that will do what I want?

I need to get the DataGridView to perform the way it should perform. I'm new to the .NET environment, but I learn fairly quickly. However, I find it difficult to decipher themassive black box of the DataGridView control enough to make it do anything other than what it already does--Draw very slowly.

How would I be able, with the click of a button, allow the user to draw on the form? Maybe as if, taking a screen shot of the whole form, and then drawing on top of it? Dose not have to be a lot of colors, just a simple way to draw a line.

I set my FormBorderStyle of my form to none.This is exactly what i want, except I ran into a problem.When the background is gray (background of other applications running in the background), my form tends to fade in with the background (Still active, but i cant see where my form starts or ends).

I dynamically load a user control in a form (Form 1).
In my user control there are two things :
a Textbox (TxtBox1) and a Command Button
WHen the button is clicked, it opens a new form (Form 2) Form2.ShowDialog()
My question is, in Form 2, how can i set a value to TxtBox1 of the user control?

The problem I am having is that when I make a Paint sub (I have another form adjacent to the one that I am struggling with), when I move one form over the form that has the graphics, it repaints it. This gives me a different result each time, since when it is on hard the grid changes. I would like to know how to paint in the load sub, so this will not happen anymore.

i am having an issue populating two combo boxes on form load. The program will connect to an access database and pull data as instructed. Then as it pulls each record it puts it into the combo box.
This was working.. atleast i think it was. i dont recall it ever not working, however i wasn't looking for it.
My problem is that if when i load the MDI parent form and have it skip the selection form and the login form and load the next form in the sequence, it loads everything perfectly. However if the select form is loaded first, then the login form and then the form i need loaded, it will not populate. The only difference between the two different loads is that the login form calls a function that loads the form as a new project.form
I did this so that I can have multiple forms open at a time. I am assuming my problem is that I need to get the child forms handle then populating controls using that handle? but i think if I had to do that then I would beable to populate the comboboxes on the first form load using the login method of opening the form.
Here's my code.
vb.net
Private Sub frmLine1t5_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Me.Text = "Line " & LineNumber & " Test Form"

The insertion part of the form works great. But my problem is in the form load part......If i leave a field blank(Null),then perform Save operation,close the form after successful insertion and then reopen the form,then it retains the previous values during the form load......This is only in case where i leave a field blank in the previous data entry in the database.......But if i enter values in all fields then form load is working great.

First I have already asked a mod to delete my other load form problem thread for feature reference if someone ask.My last thread was not solved do to the fact of me giving up an marking it resolved. I was trying to resolve the issue with my form not loading to the following an just gave up cause its been a cat an mouse game as I stated in the last thread.My project is having difficulties with a code. For some reason it's not letting frm FakePM. Show open the form.Ive used this over an over time an time again, its just not doing it now. The following code opens my Fake Pm part of my program: [code] An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.Now Ive used frmfakePm or frmAbout or frmOptions for other form applications an its never given me this kind of error.It gives me a error on my FrmFakePm form of my Private Answer Strings, The Dim code is in green, the Private Answer Strings are in yellow. I don't know why this is doing such a thing.

The following code works perfectly to allow moving a control on a form at run-time. However, when AutoScroll is set to True on Form1, and you drag Button1 past the right and/or bottom bounds of the form, it goes haywire. I really need someway to smoothing control the autoscroll so that as you scroll the control off the form, the scrollbars smoothly appear.

It's probably bad practice to rely on the form load event by running too much code in it? I have a lot in there just to get things setup for the program and much of it gets repeated later on in other events, so there is some redundancy. But is it good practice to make sure that you never "count on" anything in the form load event?

I have a form that is the main form.I don't want it to show when it loads, but when I do Me.Hide() in the Form_Load event, it flickers visible before it hides. Because before I made this form the main form, the one I was using previously didn't flicker.

I want to pre-load a number of images from the web, so that I can display them in a form, and scroll through them without delay. It can be a large number, but i only need to pre-load perhaps 20, and then remove/add in advance, as I scroll through. The images will typically be .GIF or .PNG, of quite small size, <50kb. The link for any single image will look something like this: [URL]..and I will keep a list of all the links I need to access.
What "type" shall I use to store these images? And how do I make web requests to put the data into this type? I guess it will be more convenient to keep this as in-code list of some memorystream type (?) instead of saving them to disk and having to deal with file names and stuff..? Also, what type of control shall I use to display such images? Do I use a PictureBox?And if a memorystream is indeed the best choice, how do I make this show in the picturebox?

I try to run a custom sub procedure from the form load event. It keeps crashing. I believe it is because all of the controls are not loaded and the sub procedure makes use of some controls. How can I make sure everything is loaded before the sub procedure is run?

I have a VB app which draws primitive shapes (lines, filled rectangles etc.) into a picturebox control (from its paint event). I've since found out that a picturebox is probably the worst control to use for this. I've also found out that it's better to draw directly onto the form but I don't really want to do this as a control gives clipping for 'free'.
What would be the best control for this? The panel control looks like a good candidate but the experiment I tried actually performed worse
